I have a housing question. I don't mean to come across sounding bourgeois, but how do I get my estate's man-servant to properly stand on his booster chair so he can go about cataloguing my enormous cashe of hoarded gold and treasure?  What I mean is, how do I float NPCs onto furniture? It's totally weird that it's not automatic.

goblin week posted:i did it!!!! watching the Giant Cutscene right now. Don't read this until you're done, but when I was first going through that my thing wasn't just that Ilberd betrayed us, but rather that he picked possibly the worst possible moment for us to do so, and flipped most of the Crystal Braves in the process

You use the same item floating glitch as you would the others. Stage panel and rivera self. Its been awhile since i last did it so maybe someone else can chip in. I did it for alagan nodes and they are at the base, the same thing.

I definitely called Ilberd betraying us, but I also predicted Alphinaud and Aymeric being bad guys based off of their designs and voices so I’m sad to say I have a solid 1/3 batting average there.

Aymeric was never bad but initially he is portrayed as kind of a shady politician with his own aims

Lol, as someone who started playing FFXIV right after Xenoblade Chronicles, I heard Aymeric's VA, who also played Alvis, and thought, "oh man this guy is friend-shaped"

From the first time I saw the twins and the way they first toured the intro towns, I thought that they'd turn out to be time traveling descendents of Louisoux investigating his history (our present)

Then their next cutscene is Allie ragequitting the plot and the mystique instantly vanishes.

In 1.x didn't Urianger pretend to be an incarnation of one of the twelve as a goof and also set velociraptors on you or am I at the tail end of a very long game of Lore Telephone

He pulled the Ascian teleport-y thing, which leads some people to saying he was a secret Ascian even now (although now it's firmly in 'lore-ignoring fanfic' territory, and y'know what, let those people do whatever they want) but in fairness at that point only one Ascian had ever turned up so it wasn't codified as The Ascian Teleport yet. He was also a weird joke character, he was in multiple Hildibrand quests. Urianger might be the worst victim of Lore Telephone since the Elementals, this comes up enough times to mess with people. But at least Urianger's had a lot of up-front story stuff to replace that in most people's minds, I think the Elementals suffer from being background players even in their own stories.

I used a mod to do it, but you can look up how to do it the hard way if you don't wanna go the mod route. But the big thing is when you do it, after you close the housing menu the Namazu will fall back to the floor. You'll think it didn't work but don't go back into your housing menu. Simply go outside then come back inside and the Namazu will be properly standing on the stool

to chip in on the "i thought it was gonna go this way" thing, about a month or so after endwalker came out i think i was deep in the post-heavensward stuff, and (ENDWALKER SPOILERS) i started to suspect hydaelyn was the real end boss or something, or just as bad as the ascians or something, like she wanted worlds of pure light (the first) and the ascians wanted darkness (i dont think the concepts and plan of action/calamities of what ascians wanted other than "make the world whole" didnt really sink in until post endwalker ngl) and i doubled down when i saw that one dungeon in the source with the two sin eaters and i then tripled down when i went too far down in the uploaded videos section on my ps5 ff14 menu page and saw the words "hydaelyn (extreme)" and i was like  ! and it really coloured a lot of my expectations for the next 3 expansions lol i dont think i let go of that idea right up until i saw this new character turn up with the name "meteion" and i was like, oh. ok. yeah thats the final boss, the one with the obvious boss name is behind it all."

At least until he got a brutal reality check.

Smart undersells him a bit, and he's ultra rich. He's used to always being right and having everything go his way. Diagnosing him with something is a weird play.

And now he just wants to gather firewood.  EW The running gag payoff of Estinien going “…it was just firewood?” is excellent.

Coil just seems to be in a weird place of early raid design where the devs felt like there had to be some major lore stuff to encourage people to run them beyond just doing it for number go up. I also think the animation team has just gotten better at creating cool story moments using in-game assets that they don't need to reach out to the CGI team a year ahead of time to get them to smash together something that they can do themselves. Also you should dip into savage  Ibram Gaunt posted:The phase transition cutscene for p8s is kickass. this!!!
